PEX insulation ?

5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago

My new PEX water lines extend from the HWH to the Master Bath at literally the other side of a long ranch house in the crawl space. I waste GALLONS of water waiting for the hot water to reach that bathroom faucet or shower . It takes anywhere from 30 seconds in summer to 2 minutes in winter turned on at full force to finally get hot water. The 1/2 bath almost directly over the HWH comes out hot as soon as you turn the faucet on. Any ideas how to insulate the PEX? It is stapled to the floor joists about every foot which makes installing foam pipe tedious and ineffectual. Help? TYIA.
